Me and Bro bought this 1984 316 off ebay for £600 expecting the worst!
We were pleasantly suprised



When we got it, it didn't run well, we discovered someone had put some vacuum hoses on the carb the wrong way. We fixed and it starts fine but has uneven idle, bearable, not terrible! We can only assume its the dreaded pierberg carb electronic choke! The Engine has done 100k so are looking to change to weber, psst if anyone is selling???
So engine not to shabby, some one has already put fairly new ignition leads, plugs and distributor on for us


Everything lights, dials, fans etc... work perfectly, unbelievable!


The Interior isn't bad either, there is a rip in the driver chair and some holes on the rear bottom part of the seat. Apart from that, original mats, carpets are like new!
p.s the dash is cracked, so if anyone is selling a better one, I'm interested

Body work we thought would be the biggest thing on this car. The paint was faded badly, but with Rubbing compound come up really well!!!



However the rear wheel arches both sides inside and out need replacing so when they are fixed up we will need to respray.

Small patches of rust around the car but nothing that requires panels to be changed!


so we have started to salvage and clean up as much as we can, repainted headlights


started on the underside also, dropping the rear subframe ready for painting and new bushes. surprisingly again someone has bought fairly new exhaust, springs and shocks underneath, bonus


We are super excited to get the Bimmer on the road! we want to give it a little more wow factor so have started collecting a shopping list of bits, so hopefully you guys might be able to help me find some bits

Weber Carb
New Front Dash
New Interior if the price is right but not essential
